Automated Service Discovery and Routing
Consul integration with Traefik
Consul is a service networking solution to automate network configurations, discover services, and enable secure connectivity across any cloud or runtime.
Traefik’s API Gateway can be configured to use Consul for service discovery. Consul automatically registers services and their health statuses. Traefik queries Consul for available services and updates its routing configuration dynamically based on the information provided by Consul.
Easy Configuration
Consul automatically registers services and updates their health statuses, enabling Traefik to dynamically route traffic without manual intervention.
Automatic Updates
Experience automatic updates seamlessly as Traefik adjusts to changes in your cluster, ensuring zero downtime and continuous operation.
Seamless & Secure Traffic Routing
Consul and Traefik ensure efficient, secure traffic routing and seamless connectivity across cloud or runtime environments, protecting data and services robustly.
Zero-Trust Enterprise-Grade Security
Vault integration with Traefik
Vault is an identity-based secrets and encryption management system that provides encryption services that are gated by authentication and authorization methods to ensure secure, auditable and restricted access to secrets.
It integrates with Traefik’s API Gateway to securely manage and store sensitive secrets such as SSL/TLS certificates, API keys, and credentials, enhancing your infrastructure’s security posture.
Dynamic Secrets Management
Secure service-to-service communication with Vault's robust secrets management and encryption capabilities, complementing Traefik's advanced routing and SSL/TLS management.
Automated Certificate Management
Traefik and Vault automate certificate issuance and renewal, reducing the operational burden and ensuring communications are encrypted and secured.
Centralized Access Control
Integrating Vault with Traefik enables centralized authentication, detailed audit logs, and enhanced security monitoring.

Traefik & HashiCorp Use Cases
HashiCorp Vault
Vault & Traefik Configuration Discovery
Traefik’s API Gateway supports Vault as a key-value store for certificate management.
Vault & Traefik Certificate Resolver
Traefik’s API Gateway can use Vault as a certificate resolver, allowing it to dynamically generate certificates on the fly.
HashiCorp Consul
Consul and Consul Catalog as configuration providers for Traefik
Traefik supports a namespace filter in our Consul KV and Consul Catalog integrations which allows users to target specific namespaces when running Consul Enterprise.
Traefik Proxy support for Consul Enterprise and HCP Consul
Traefik adds the first round of support for Consul Enterprise and the HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP). This includes an experimental implementation of the namespace feature for the Consul K/V and Consul Catalog providers. This feature allows you to specify a target namespace other than the default namespace when connecting to Consul.
